OAS Officers Halt 'Mass Leave' as CM Assures Justice

On June 30, during a public grievance session in Bhubaneswar, Ratnakar Sahoo, an additional commissioner at the city's municipal corporation, was attacked by a group of individuals.
The assault followed demands for Sahoo to apologize to BJP leader Jagannath Pradhan, which sparked outrage among civil servants and public alike.
In response, the Odisha Administrative Service Association called a mass leave starting July 1, demanding Pradhan's immediate arrest and increased security for officers.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi assured strict legal action against all culprits, stating perpetrators will be punished regardless of power, which led the officers to halt their strike.
The incident heightened concerns over the safety of public servants in Odisha, prompting calls for stronger institutional safeguards and accountability measures statewide.
